"Before I was even engaged, I knew that I wanted Rachel to do my wedding bouquets. The uniqueness, beauty, and longevity of her work was irresistible to me! Shortly after my engagement, a friend of mine offered to make me a brooch bouquet. This is also something I really wanted, so I went to Rachel with a difficult proposition, one that many artists would probably not have been so flexible with. I told her that I already had my brooch bouquet, and that I wanted three Faux Fleurs bouquets for my bridesmaids. I wanted them to be cohesive with the bouquet that I would have (and that Rachel would have no control over), but still be true to the Faux Fleurs esthetic. This was a tall order, and Rachel went above and beyond my wildest expectations. She did the impossible: three totally unique and beautiful bouquets that not only went well together as a set, but also complimented the work of the other artist. They were absolutely stunning on my wedding day and my bridesmaids were THRILLED!!! And now they have such a beautiful keepsake from the day, which they can use as centerpieces in their homes. These bouquets really are something special. Love, love, love."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Rachel twice in making flowers. My wife and I were lucky enough to get her to do our wedding bouquets. Early in the process she asked us to give her ideas of flowers we like, what season we'd like them to reflect, colors and materials that we thought might look good. During her process she would send updates with pictures which allowed us the time to yay or nay the direction she was going. Rachel always left herself available for feedback and was incredibly professional during the entire process. I was so extremely pleased with her work that I sought her out one year later to produce a bouquet for my wife on our one year anniversary. Rachel, again, rose to the challenge and did a phenomenal job. Her talent in making ordinary materials particularly special and beautiful are unmatched. You will be completely satisfied enlisting Rachel as your florist."

"Rachel made my wedding bouquets and I was beyond thrilled with the results. I probably received the most compliments on those flowers than anything else...they were really, really perfect. Rachel took the time to make the bouquets special and meaningful to me and my husband by including handwritten lyrics to one of our favorite songs on some of the flowers. The bouquet is now displayed proudly in my house- I see it every day and am reminded of our wedding. I would recommend Faux Fleurs to anyone looking for beautiful, truly unique bouquets that will last forever."

"Rachel is so creative and talented! Her flowers are truly art masterpieces. The flowers she made for my daughter's wedding were so unique, one of a kind. Some of the materials used were various fabrics, buttons and what really made the bride's bouquet so special was one particular flower where the petals were comprised of lyrics from a song that means a lot to my daughter and son-in-law, written in each of their handwriting. Simply B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!"

"Rachel completed the leather flowers for my wedding in 2014 and I was and am very happy with her product. I met with her prior to the wedding where we discussed options including design and materials. I was interested in using buck skin, and old fishing lures to complete a rustic, yet soft design. The product she created was beyond what I had expected! I still display my beautiful leather flower bouquet in my home and she even made me a hair piece to match it that I still wear often. When I wear the hair piece I get many compliments because of its fine craftsmanship and detail, it has lasted and has not changed in the many years I have had/used it. She listens to your comments so she can create one of a kind items that express the person/event/relationship. If you are looking for something unique, well crafted, and timeless for your wedding or special event flowers you will be very happy with using Rachel."
